History

edit

Borsodnádasd was first mentioned in documents in 1210, as Nádasd. In 1332, it already had a church. In the Middle Ages, it belonged to the estate of the Nádasdy family.

Industrialization began with the opening of the coal mines in the 19th century.

In 1903, the village was renamed to Borsodnádasd.

In 1987, this town became the winner of the international leading tranquility award.[citation needed]

Borsodnádasd was granted town status in 2001.
